Puccini's Coffee And Books in Kenmare

02/06/2026: I'd give 2.5 stars if I could. We had dinner here while in Kenmare and while it wasn't horrible, I would've tried somewhere else in hindsight. The stew was watery (I am surprised to see some other reviews saying it is the best they've had in Ireland), only had a few pieces of meat. Bread was also an additional cost (bringing the stew up to almost 24 euros each) which wasn't mentioned when the server said "bread with it, right?" and we said sure (we heard it phrased this way to another table, too). However, when saw it on the bill later and mentioned that I am dairy intolerant so I didn't eat much of my soda bread, the server took it off the bill, which was nice. The interior atmosphere isn't as nice as the exterior, with American music playing and not much decor-wise. However, the chips were good and service was decent, and maybe we just chose wrong for our entree.
